On sick leave with reduced income so what a better time to think about an upgrade. Lol. Currently have have a 40 breeder with aquamaxx hob1, seachem tidal power filter and AI Primes. Never had an overflow/sump. Been buying stuff for a redo, marco rock, reefbreeder rpm-1's and more. Decided to go whole new direction and try a new tank so whats the opinion on a red sea reefer 250 vs a waterbox marine 70.3? I know they arent "advanced" but how do the sumps compare? Doesnt the red sea v3 have some kind kind of divider for a small refugium section?
Decided on a Sicce silent return pump but know next to nothing on skimmers. Brs recommends a somatic space saver and i was looking at RO classic 150int. Any other suggestions with out breaking the bank too badly? Thanks
 
So the best info on the V3 I've found is in this thread....

And this is the 250 V3 sump with what looks like a removable divider as you have mentioned as well as the dimensions of each chamber.

I'll be honest I haven't looked into the 70.3 yet but I will and see if I can notice any other differences.
